If there shall be delivered to the Company (a) evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by its to save it and any of its agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing an identification number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 3.07, the Company may require payment by the relevant Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 3.07 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer to the Company or any agent of the Company, the Company or such agent shall treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any agent of the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(iv) Unless the Company specifies otherwise, the Company will not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note that has been surrendered for conversion or for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or a Repurchase Notice has been delivered, except to the extent any portion of such Note is not subject to the foregoing.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(i) If a transfer of a Note is otherwise permitted hereunder, a Holder may transfer such Note by: (A) surrendering such Note for registration of transfer to the Company, together with any endorsements or instruments of transfer required by the Company; (B) delivering any documentation that the Company requires to ensure that such transfer complies with Section 3.05, Section 3.06 and any applicable securities laws; and (C) satisfying all other requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 3.09 and in Section 3.05, Section 3.06 and Section 14.16.

Section 3.10 Cancellation. The Company at any time may cancel any Notes previously delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever. All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, purchase, repurchase, conversion (pursuant to Article 7) or cancellation will be subject to immediate cancellation by the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are cancelled. The Notes so acquired, while held by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall not entitle the Holder thereof to convert the Notes. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or cancelled.

Section 3.11 Outstanding Notes.

(a) Generally. The Notes that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those Notes that, at such time, have been duly executed and delivered, excluding those Notes (or portions thereof) that have theretofore been (i) delivered to the Company for cancellation in accordance with Section 3.10; (ii) paid in full in accordance herewith; or (iii) deemed to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject to, subsection (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 3.11.

(b) Replaced Notes. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 3.07, then such Note will cease to be outstanding at the time of its replacement, unless the Company receives proof reasonably satisfactory to it that such Note is held by a bona fide purchaser under applicable law.

(c) Maturing Notes and Notes Subject to Repurchase. If the Company has caused any Note to be (or portion thereof) repaid in full as provided herein, whether a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, a Repurchase Date, the Maturity Date or otherwise, then (i) such Notes (or portion thereof) will be deemed, as of the date of such payment, to cease to be outstanding, and (ii) the rights of the Holders of such Notes (or such portion thereof), as such, will terminate with respect to such Notes (or such portion thereof).

(d) Notes to Be Converted. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for any Note (or any portion thereof) to be converted, such Note (or such portion) will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the consideration due upon conversion or interest due upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding, subject to Section 7.03(d).

(e) Cessation of Accrual of Interest. Except as provided in Section 4.04(a), Section 4.05(a) or Section 7.03(d), interest will cease to accrue on each Note from, and including, the date that such Note is deemed, pursuant to this Section 3.11, to cease to be outstanding, unless there occurs a default in the payment or delivery of any cash or other property due on such Note.

Section 3.12 Withholding Tax. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Company) requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any payment on account of any obligation with respect to the Notes, then the Company or applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Any Investor that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any such payments shall deliver to the Company, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documents as will permit the Company to determine the applicable amount of withholding (including backup withholding).

The Company covenants and agrees that it shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on each of the Notes to the applicable Holder of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes. The outstanding principal amount of each Note will accrue interest at a rate per annum, at the Company’s election, equal to (a) 5.0% payable in cash (the “Cash Interest”), or (b) 8.0% as paid-in-kind interest, added to the aggregate principal amount of the Note on the date such interest would otherwise be due under (the amount of such paid-in-kind interest being, the “PIK Interest” and together with the Cash Interest, the “Stated Interest”), plus, in each case, any Special Interest that may accrue pursuant to Section 9.02, Section 11.05 or this Section 4.01, respectively. PIK Interest shall apply for each period unless the Company elects, at its option, to pay Cash Interest for any period by notifying each Holder in writing of any such election at least two (2) Business Days before the start of the applicable period during which the Company has elected to pay Cash Interest. Stated Interest on each Note will (a) accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which Stated Interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no Stated Interest has theretofore been paid or duly provided for, the date set forth in the certificate representing such Note as the date from, and including, which Stated Interest will begin to accrue in such circumstance) to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Stated Interest; and (b) be, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, payable semi-annually in arrears (i) for the Cash Interest, payable in cash and (ii) for the PIK Interest, payable in kind (with the principal amount of each outstanding Note being deemed increased by the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest dollar) of PIK Interest payable on such Note on such date and such increase being recorded in the books of the Company), in each case on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on the first Interest Payment Date set forth in the certificate representing such Note to the Holder of such Note. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. If the Maturity Date of a Note is not an Interest Payment Date, then the accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Maturity Date will be paid, on the Maturity Date, to the Person to whom the principal amount of such Note is paid. Special Interest if any, will accrue and be paid in the manner set forth in Section 9.02, Section 11.05 and this Section 4.01, respectively.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain an office or agency in the United States, where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or for conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Agreement may be served. The initial location of such office and agency is the Company’s address set forth in Section 14.01, and the Company shall give prompt written notice to each Holder of any change in the location of such office or agency.

The Company may also from time to time designate co-registrars and one or more offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 4.03 Reports. The Company shall furnish to the Holders, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day after the date that the Company is required to file the same (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods under the Exchange Act), all annual or quarterly reports (on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q or any respective successor form) that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the Company need not send to any Holder any material for which the Company has received, or is seeking in good faith and has not been denied, confidential treatment by the Commission. Any report that the Company files with the Commission through the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be sent to the Holders at the time such report is so filed.

Section 4.04 Offer to Repurchase upon Fundamental Change.

(a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than twenty (20) Business Days or more than thirty (30) Business Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”).

(b) Repurchases of Notes under this Section 4.04 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof. To exercise such right, such Holder must deliver, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, to the Company:

(i) a duly completed notice substantially in the form attached to the Note (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) to the Company; and

(ii) the Notes to be repurchased.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Company the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 4.04 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Company, specifying (x) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and (y) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes).

(e) [Reserved].

(f) The Company shall not be required to repurchase or make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Fundamental Change if a third party makes such an offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements made for an offer made by the Company as set forth in this Section 4.04 and such third party purchases all Notes properly surrendered and not validly withdrawn under its offer in the same manner, at the same time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company as set forth in this Section 4.04.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.04, the Company will not be required to send a Fundamental Change Company Notice, or offer to repurchase or repurchase any Notes pursuant to this Section 4.04, in connection with a Fundamental Change occurring pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (b)(ii) of the definition thereof, if (i) such Fundamental Change constitutes a Common Stock Change Event whose Reference Property consists solely of cash in U.S. dollars; (ii) immediately after such Fundamental Change, the Notes become convertible, pursuant to Section 7.05 into solely cash in U.S. dollars in an amount per Note that equals or exceeds the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price per Note (calculated assuming that the same includes accrued interest to, but excluding, the latest possible Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change); and (iii) the Company notifies Holders of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and that, pursuant to this Section 4.04(g), the Company is not required to offer to repurchase the Notes in connection therewith. Any Fundamental Change with respect to which, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.04(g), the Company does not offer to repurchase any notes is referred to as an “Exempted Fundamental Change”.

Section 4.05 Repurchase at Option of the Holders.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 4.05, at any time commencing on the two-and-half-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Specified Date”), each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company, by written notice delivered to the Company substantially in the form attached to the Note (a “Repurchase Notice”), to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof, on the date specified by the Company that is not less than six (6) months following the date of the Company’s receipt of the Repurchase Notice (the “Repurchase Date”) at a repurchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Company the Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 4.05 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Repurchase Notice by at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Company, specifying (x) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and (y) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Repurchase Notice and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon.

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) on the Conversion Date for such conversion, and the Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on such the Conversion Date for such conversion.

(e) If multiple Notes shall be surrendered for conversion with the same Conversion Date by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon such conversion (and the number of fractional shares, if any, for which cash shall be delivered) shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to be so converted.

(f) By delivery to the Holder of the consideration due upon conversion of any Note, the Company will be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Conversion Date. Upon conversion of the Notes, all accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Conversion Date will be deemed to be paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited, subject to Section 7.03(d).

(g) Shares of Common Stock issued upon a conversion shall be delivered pursuant to a book entry with the transfer agent for the Common Stock, and in no event shall paper certificates be issued or delivered, except with the consent of the Holder receiving the same.

Section 7.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs as described below, except that the Company will not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of Notes participate, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 7.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if each Holder held, on the applicable Record Date or effective date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such Record Date or effective date, multiplied by the principal amount of Notes held by such Holder, divided by $1,000.

(a) If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all of the shares of the Common Stock, or the Company effects a share split or share combination applicable to all shares of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which the provisions set forth in Section 7.05 will apply), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date or effective date, as applicable;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Record Date or effective date, as applicable; and

OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

If any dividend, distribution, share split or share combination of the type described in this Section 7.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such share split or share combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared or announced.

(b) If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants entitling such holders for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the Record Date of such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;

OS	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Record Date;

X	=	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding such date of announcement.

The foregoing increase in the Conversion Rate shall be successively made whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be immediately readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such distribution had not been fixed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate made for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants.

In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of shares of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable upon exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(c) (i) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities (the “Distributed Property”), to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock, excluding:

(1) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment is required (or would be required without regard to Section 7.04(h)) pursuant to Section 7.04(a) or Section 7.04(b);

(2) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment is required (or would be required without regard to Section 7.04(h)) pursuant to Section 7.04(d);

(3) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 7.10;

(4) Spin-Offs for which an adjustment is required (or would be required without regard to Section 7.04(h)) pursuant to Section 7.04(c)(ii); and

(5) a distribution solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which the provisions set forth in Section 7.05 will apply,

then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;

SP	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV	=	the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors), as of such Record Date, of such Distributed Property distributed per share of Common Stock pursuant to such distribution.

No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. If such distribution is not so paid or made, or such rights, options or warrants are not exercised before their expiration (including as a result of being redeemed or terminated), the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid or on the basis of the distribution of only such rights, options or warrants, if any, that were actually exercised, if at all. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP” (as defined above), then, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes that it held on the Record Date for such distribution, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, without having to convert its Notes, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned, on such Record Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such Record Date. If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 7.04(c)(i) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the average Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock referred to above.

(ii) With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary, or other business unit or Affiliate, of the Company, where such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange (as determined by the Company) (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-Off;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;

FMV	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off (determined for purposes of the definition of “Last Reported Sale Price” as if references therein to Common Stock were instead references to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “*Spin-Off Valuation Period*”); and

SP	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the Spin-Off Valuation Period.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7.04(d) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the third (3rd) Business Day after the last day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period. To the extent any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is paid or made to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR₀	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date;

SP	=	the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

D	=	the amount in cash per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution.

No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP” (as defined above), then, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes that it held on the Record Date for such distribution, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned, on such Record Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on such Record Date.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, to the extent that the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of the cash and any other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR0	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the time (the “*Expiration Time*”) such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR₁	=	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;

AC	=	the aggregate value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Time (prior to giving effect to the purchase of shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to the purchase of shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP	=	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 7.04(e) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the third (3rd) Business Day after the last day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate.

If the Company is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is ultimately prevented by applicable law from effecting all or any portion of such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall immediately be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that had been effected.

(f) In addition to those Conversion Rate adjustments required by Section 7.04(a), 7.04(b), 7.04(c), 7.04(d) and 7.04(e), and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market and, if applicable, any securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may (but is not required to) (i) increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest and (ii) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:

(i) the sale of shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(iii) the repurchase of any of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open market share purchase program or other buyback transaction, including structured or derivative transactions such as accelerated share repurchase transactions or similar forward derivatives, or other buyback transaction, in each case that is not subject to Section 7.04(e);

(iv) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program (including pursuant to any “evergreen” provision thereof) of (or assumed by) the Company or any its Subsidiaries;

(v) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (iv) above and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued, except as set forth in Section 7.10;

(vi) for a change in the par value (or lack of par value) of the Common Stock; or

(vii) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes.

(h) Adjustments to the Conversion Rate under this Article 7 shall be calculated to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.04, no adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least one percent (1%) in the Conversion Rate, and any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment; provided, however, that upon any conversion of the Notes, the Company shall give effect to all adjustments that Company otherwise has deferred pursuant to this sentence, and those adjustments will no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment.

(i) After any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant hereto, the Company shall prepare and send to Holders, within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment, a notice of such adjustment setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment became effective. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(j) For purposes of this Section 7.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company, so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on such shares, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Notes, if the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7.04 has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date, but the shares issuable upon conversion are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),then, solely for purposes of such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date and, for the avoidance of doubt, such shares will not be entitled to participate in such event. In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the third (3rd) Business Day after such first date.

Section 7.05 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Etc. In the case of (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination, any stock dividends or any change in par value or from a par value to no par value or from no par value to a par value), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company, (iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (iv) any statutory share exchange, or (v) any similar event, in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such stock, securities, property or assets, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue fractional shares of securities or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary,

(a) at the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (1) the consideration due upon conversion of any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Article 7 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and for (2) purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change” the term “Common Stock” will be deemed to mean the Common Equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property;

(b) if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then, in respect of all conversions whose Conversion Date occurs on or after the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event, the Company will pay the cash due upon such conversions no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date;

(c) for these purposes, the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof);

(d) the Company shall promptly execute, and the Holders shall counter-sign, a supplemental agreement pursuant to Article 13 that (1) will provide for subsequent conversions of Notes in the manner set forth in this Section 7.05; (2) will provide for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7.04(a), 7.04(b), 7.04(c), 7.04(d), 7.04(e) in a manner consistent with this Section 7.05; and (3) may contain such other provisions as (i) the Company in good faith determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 7.05 and (ii) to which Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding reasonably agree.

If such Common Stock Change Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The Company shall notify Holders of the Notes of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

The Company shall not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 7.05. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to convert its Notes as set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 prior to the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event.

Section 7.06 Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Agreement requires a calculation of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or a function thereof, over a span of multiple days, the Company may make adjustments determined by the Company or its agents to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Record Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period during which such calculations are based.

Section 7.07 [Reserved].

Section 7.08 Taxes on Shares Issued. Any issue of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Notes shall be made without charge to the converting Holder for any documentary, transfer, stamp or any similar tax in respect of the issue thereof, and the Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock, if any, upon conversion of Notes pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other than that of the Holder of any Notes converted, and, in addition to any other requirements or conditions set forth herein, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 7.09 Reservation of Shares; Listing. The Company shall at all times provide, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that, at the time of the computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be held by a single Holder). The Company will use its best efforts to cause all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes to be listed on any U.S. securities exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed.

Section 7.10 Shareholder Rights Plan. Each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion of Notes pursuant to this Article 7 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates, if any, representing such shares shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any then-effective shareholder rights agreement adopted by the Company, as any such agreement may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to any conversion of any Notes, such rights have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights agreement, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed, to all holders of the Common Stock, Distributed Property as described in Section 7.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. Unless and until such rights have so separated, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made pursuant to Section 7.04(c) on account of such rights.

Section 7.11 Company Determination Final. Any determination that the Board of Directors contemplated pursuant to this Article 7 shall be conclusive if made in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7, absent manifest error.

Section 7.12 Maximum Percentage. On or prior to the Closing, each Investor shall notify the Company in writing to confirm whether such Investor elects to be subject to the provisions contained in this Section 7.12 and the corresponding provision in the Warrant. A holder of a Security who is not subject to this Section 7.12 may elect to be subject to the provisions contained in this Section 7.12 at any time by submitting written notice to the Company. If the election is made by a holder of a Security, the Company shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s Warrant or conversion of the Holder’s Note, and such holder shall not have the right to exercise such Warrant or convert such Note, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person’s Affiliates), or any “group” of which such holder or its Affiliates is a member, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its Affiliates, or any group of which such Person and its Affiliates is a member, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant or conversion of the Notes, as applicable, with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its Affiliates, or any group of which such Person and its Affiliates is a member, and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, including the Notes, or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule), and the applicable regulations of the Commission. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Commission, and the percentage held by a holder of a Security shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. To the extent that a holder of a Security makes the election described in this Section 7.12, the Company shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s Warrant or Holder’s Note, and such holder of Security shall not have the right to exercise such Warrant or convert such Note unless it provides to the Company in its election to purchase or conversion notice, a certification that, after giving effect to such exercise or conversion, as applicable, such Person (together with such Person’s Affiliates) or any “group” of which the holder of a Security or its Affiliates is a member, would not beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise as determined in accordance with this Section 7.12. The Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of any Security, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder of the Security may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, current report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the holder of a Security, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder of Security the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder of Security and its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the holder of a Security may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such holder of Security to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided, however, that any such increase shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

Section 9.03 Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Past Defaults and Rescission.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 9.01(h) or Section 9.01(i) with respect to the Company and not solely with respect to any Significant Subsidiaries of the Company) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Holders of at least a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the other Holders if given by any Holder), and upon any such declaration, such principal amount, and accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.01(h) or Section 9.01(i) with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to any Significant Subsidiaries of the Company), 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes will automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of any Holder.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and each other Holder, may (x) waive any past Default and its consequences and (y) at any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except, in each case, with respect to a Default described in Section 9.01(a), or Section 9.01(b), or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 13 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected, if:

(i) such rescission will not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(ii) all existing Events of Default (except the non-payment of principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest that has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Upon any such waiver, the Default which has been waived shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 9.04 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment and Convert. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal amount (including interest in respect of the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes or otherwise, as applicable), any accrued and unpaid interest and to convert the Notes in accordance with Article 7, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 9.05 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 9.06 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 3.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 9.07 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Holders.

Section 9.08 Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Holders.

Section 9.09 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement in respect of the Notes, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 9.09 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal amount on any Note on or after the Maturity Date of such Note.

Article 10
MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS WITH RESPECT TO THE NOTES

Section 10.01 Company May Consolidate, etc., only on Certain Terms. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.02, the Company shall not consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (other than any such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease to one or more of the Company’s direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) (each, a “Business Combination Event”), unless:

(a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not the Company shall be a Qualified Successor Entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assumed, by amendment or supplement all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Agreement; and

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

For purposes of this‎ Section 10.01, the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to another Person, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall be deemed to be the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person.

Section 10.02 Successor Substituted. In each case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Company, by amendment or supplement, executed and delivered to the Holders and satisfactory in form to the Holders of at least twenty five (25%) percent of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding hereunder, of due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement to be performed by the Company, such Successor Company (if not the Company) shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and may thereafter exercise every right and power of the Company under this Agreement. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Holders. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Note theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article 10 the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Agreement (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 10) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Agreement and the Notes. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

Article 11
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 11.01 Registration Rights.

(a) The Company agrees that, within fifteen (15) Business Days following the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Filing Deadline (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission; provided, further, that the Company shall have the Registration Statement declared effective within ten (10) Business Days after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, further, that (i) if the Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business and (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of Business Days that the Commission remains closed for. Upon an Investor’s timely request, the Company shall provide a draft of the sections entitled “Selling Securityholders” and “Plan of Distribution” in the Registration Statement to such Investor for review at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the date of filing the Registration Statement with the Commission (the “Filing Date”), and such Investor shall provide any comments on the Registration Statement to the Company no later than the one (1) Business Day immediately preceding the Filing Date. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by an Investor prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, an Investor shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement; provided, that if the Commission requests that such Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, such Investor will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Registrable Securities or other shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file one or more new Registration Statement(s) (such amendment or new Registration Statement shall also be deemed to be a “Registration Statement” hereunder) to register such additional Registrable Securities and cause such amendment or Registration Statement(s) to become effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement (the “Additional Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement if such Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission; provided, further, that the Company shall have such Registration Statement declared effective within ten (10) Business Days after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, further, that (i) if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business and (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of Business Days that the Commission remains closed for. Any failure by the Company to file a Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline or Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect a Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 11.01.

(b) The Company agrees that, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to an Investor, including to prepare and file any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus such that the prospectus will not include any untrue statement or a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, until the earlier of (i) two (2) years from the effective date of the Registration Statement, (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities shall have been sold or (iii) on the first date on which such Investor can sell all of its Registrable Securities (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable. For so long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable such Investor to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on the applicable stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock are then listed and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Registrable Securities. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to, for so long as an Investor holds Registrable Securities, make and keep public information available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144) and file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements to enable such Investor to resell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144. Each Investor agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Registrable Securities to the Company (or its successor) upon reasonable request to assist the Company in making the determination described above.

(c) The Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon an Investor furnishing in writing to the Company a completed selling stockholder questionnaire in customary form that contains such information regarding such Investor, the securities of the Company held by such Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and such Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement (i) during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder and (ii) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K; provided, that the Company shall request such information from such Investor, including the selling stockholder questionnaire, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Filing Date of the Registration Statement; and provided, further, under no circumstances shall such Investor be required to sign any type of lock-up agreement. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform such Investor as to the status of such registration. No Investor shall be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement, and from time to time require Investors not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement if it determines in good faith that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use would reasonably be expected to materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would reasonably be expected to require premature disclosure of information that would materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that, (w) the Company shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period, and (x) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by Investors of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

Section 11.02 Obligations of the Company. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) of the happening of (i) an issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose, which notice shall be given no later than three (3) Business Days from the date of such event, (ii) any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective, which notice shall be given no later than three (3) Business Days from the date of such Suspension Event, or (iii) or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, each Investor agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144, if available at such time) until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement. If so directed by the Company, the Investors will deliver to the Company or, in each Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in the such Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (w) to the extent such Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (x) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

Section 11.03 Opt-Out Notice. An Investor may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that such Investor not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 11; provided, however, that such Investor may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from an Investor (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to such Investor and such Investor shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to such Investor’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, such Investor will notify the Company in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 11.03 and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify such Investor, within one (1) business day of such Investor’s notification to the Company, by delivering to such Investor a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide such Investor with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.

Section 11.04 Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, and employees of such Investor, each Person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim (collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Investor furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein or such Investor has omitted a material fact from such information, provided that the Company has given notice of such event to such Investor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall not be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Investor expressly for use in such Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (B) in connection with any failure of such Person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any Person by means of a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized by the Company or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of such Investor in violation of Section 11.01(c) hereof. The Company shall notify each Investor promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 11.04(a) of which the Company is aware. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) Each Investor shall, severally and not jointly with any other Investor in the offering contemplated by this Subscription Agreement or selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Investor furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein and that such Investor has received notice from the Company of such Suspension Event in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the liability of such Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, an Investor’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Any Person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement), which settlement shall not include a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party, and which settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities.

(e) If the indemnification provided under this Section 11.04(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of an Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11.04(e), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 11.04(e) from any Person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.05 Removal of Legend. Subject to receipt from an Investor by the Company and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, such Investor may request that the Company remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing its Registrable Securities and the Company will, if required by the Transfer Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause an opinion of the Company’s counsel to be provided, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, following the earliest of such time as such Registrable Securities (i) have been or are about to be sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, or (ii) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144. If restrictive legends are no longer required for such Registrable Securities pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.05 and within three (3) trading days of any request therefor from such Investor accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry Registrable Securities. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and all fees associated with such issuance.

Article 12
TRUST ACCOUNT WAIVER

Section 12.01 Trust Account Waiver. Each Investor hereby acknowledges that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering filed on May 24, 2021, available at www.sec.gov, the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of initial public offering of the Company (“IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company, its public stockholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Investor hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any distributions or payments therefrom, or upon the release to the Company of the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, arising out or as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, and (c) will not seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 12.01 shall (i) serve to limit or prohibit each Investor’s right to pursue a claim against the Company for legal relief against assets, monies or other properties of the Company held outside the Trust Account (so long as such claim would not affect the Company’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate any redemption right with respect to any securities of the Company), for specific performance or other equitable relief, (ii) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Holder may have in the future against the Company’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) (so long as such claim would not affect the Company’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate any redemption right with respect to any securities of the Company) or (iii) be deemed to limit each Investor’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation in respect of any redemptions by an Investor in respect of Common Stock acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Agreement or any other rights held as an stockholder of the Company.

Article 13
AMENDMENTS

Section 13.01 Amendments.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor the Notes or provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except by an agreement or agreements in writing executed by the Company and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, provided, however, that no such agreement shall do the following without the written consent of each Holder affected thereby: (i) reduce the principal amount of any Note, (ii) reduce the rate of interest on any Note, (iii) change the Maturity Date of any Note, or extend the time for the payment of any interest thereon or waive or excuse any such payment, (iv) make any change that impairs or adversely affects the conversion rights of any Note or reduces the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Repurchase Price of any Note, (v) change any of the provisions of this Article 13 without the written consent of each Holder, or (vi) adversely affect the economic interests of any Holder hereunder disproportionately to other Holders without the written consent of such Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented without the consent of any Holder in order to comply with, and subject to the provisions of, Section 7.05 or Article 10.

As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 2.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned Warrant, as applicable, for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. If fewer than all the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate are exercised, a notation shall be made to the records maintained by the Company evidencing the balance of the Warrants remaining after such exercise. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise.

2.3.3 Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with these Warrant Terms shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

2.3.4 Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, is issued for shares of Common Stock shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which the Warrant, or book-entry position representing such Warrant, was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate in the case of a certificated Warrant, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the share transfer books of the Company or book-entry system of the Company’s transfer agent, as applicable, are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares of Common Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books or book-entry system are open.

2.3.5 Maximum Percentage. A holder of a Warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event such holder elects to be subject to the provisions contained in this subsection 2.3.5; however, no holder of a Warrant shall be subject to this subsection 2.3.5 unless he, she or it makes such election. If the election is made by a holder of a Warrant, the Company shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s Warrant, and such holder shall not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), or any “group” of which such holder or its affiliates is a member, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates, or any group of which such person and its affiliates is a member, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrant beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates, or any group of which such person and its affiliates is a member, and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (or any successor rule), and the applicable regulations of the Commission. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Commission, and the percentage held by a holder of a Warrant shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. To the extent that a holder of a Warrant makes the election described in this subsection 2.3.5, the Company shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s Warrant, and such holder shall not have the right to exercise such Warrant unless it provides to the Company in its Election to Purchase, a certification that, upon after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates) or any “group” of which the holder of a Warrant or its affiliates is a member, would beneficially own in excess of the Maximum Percentage of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise as determined in accordance with this subsection 2.3.5. For purposes of the Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, current report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the holder of the Warrant, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the holder of a Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such holder to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided, however, that any such increase shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

3. Adjustments.

3.1 Stock Dividends.

3.1.1 Split-Ups. If after the Closing, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of the Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) shall be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for the Common Stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering and divided by (y) the Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 3.1.1, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

3.1.2 Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the Common Stock on account of such shares of Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 3.1.1 above or (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Board, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 3.1.2, “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 3 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant) does not exceed $0.50.

3.2 Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

3.3 Adjustments in Warrant Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in subsection 3.1.1 or Section 3.2 above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

3.4 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change under subsections 3.1.1 or 3.1.2 or Section 3.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or conversion of the Company as another entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation (and is not a subsidiary of another entity whose stockholders did not own all or substantially all of the Common Stock of the Company in substantially the same proportions immediately before such transaction) and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the Warrants shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance”); provided, however, that (i) if the holders of the Common Stock were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets constituting the Alternative Issuance for which each Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the Common Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and (ii) if a tender, exchange or redemption offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the Common Stock (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by the Company in connection with redemption rights upon Closing) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to receive as the Alternative Issuance, the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if such Warrant holder had exercised the Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3; provided, further that if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Common Stock in the applicable event is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the Registered Holder properly exercises the Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation of such applicable event by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, the Warrant Price shall be reduced by an amount (in dollars) equal to the difference (but in no event less than zero) of (i) the Warrant Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) minus (B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined below). The “Black-Scholes Warrant Value” means the value of a Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the applicable event based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Model for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”).

For purposes of calculating such amount, (1) Section 5 of these Warrant Terms shall be taken into account, (2) the price of each share of Common Stock shall be the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event, (3) the assumed volatility shall be the 90 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg determined as of the trading day immediately prior to the day of the announcement of the applicable event, and (4) the assumed risk-free interest rate shall correspond to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of the Warrant. “Per Share Consideration” means (i) if the consideration paid to holders of the Common Stock consists exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per share of Common Stock, and (ii) in all other cases, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event. If any reclassification or reorganization also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by subsection 3.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 3.1.1 or Sections 3.2 and 3.3 and this Section 3.4. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

3.5 Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4, the Company shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to each holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

3.6 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in these Warrant Terms to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such holder.

3.7 Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares of Common Stock as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant to these Warrant Terms; provided, however, that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

3.8 Other Events. In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of the preceding subsections of this Section 3 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the Warrants in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact on the Warrants and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 3, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by the Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section 3 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Warrants be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.8 as a result of any securities in connection with the Business Combination. The Company shall adjust the terms of the Warrants in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion.

4. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.

4.1 Registration of Transfer. The Company shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, in the case of a certificated Warrant, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company.

4.2 Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Company, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Company shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided herein or in any Book-Entry Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate, each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate and Definitive Warrant Certificate may be transferred only in whole and only to the Company or to a successor of the Company; provided, further, that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Company shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Company has determined, in consultation with counsel for the Company, whether such transfer may be made and whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

4.3 Fractional Warrants. The Company shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which shall result in the issuance of a warrant certificate or book-entry position for a fraction of a warrant.

4.4 Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants.

4.5 Warrant Execution and Countersignature. The Company is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of these Warrant Terms, the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.

5. Redemption.

5.1 Redemption of Warrants for Cash. Not less than all of the outstanding Warrants may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time while they are exercisable and prior to their expiration, upon notice to the Registered Holders of the Warrants, as described in Section 5.2 below, at the price of $0.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”); provided that the closing price of the Common Stock reported has been at least $18.00 per share (subject to adjustment in compliance with Section 3 hereof), on each of twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third Business Day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given; provided, further, that there is an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day period prior to the Redemption Date (such period, the “Redemption Period”) or the Company has elected to require the exercise of the Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 2.3.1 and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

5.2 Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption. In the event that the Company elects to redeem all of the Warrants pursuant to Section 5.1, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company during the Redemption Period to the Registered Holders of the Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Registered Holder received such notice.

5.3 Exercise After Notice of Redemption. The Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a “cashless basis” in accordance with subsection 2.3.1(b) of these Warrant Terms) at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and prior to the Redemption Date. In the event that the Company determines to require all holders of Warrants to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 2.3.1, the notice of redemption shall contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Warrants, including the “Fair Market Value” (as such term is defined in subsection 2.3.1(b) hereof) in such case. On and after the Redemption Date, the record holder of the Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Warrants, the Redemption Price.

6. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

6.1 No Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the general or special meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

6.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

6.3 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to these Warrant Terms.

6.4 Registration of Common Stock. Each holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to the registration rights with respect to resale of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants held by such holder as set forth in Section 11 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

7. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company in respect of the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares of Common Stock.

8. Miscellaneous Provisions.

8.1 Successors. All the covenants and provisions of these Warrant Terms by or for the benefit of the Company or the holders of Warrants bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

8.2 Notices. Any notice, statement or demand authorized by these Warrant Terms to be given or made by the Company, or by any holder of a Warrant to the Company, shall be sufficiently given when so delivered if by hand or overnight delivery or if sent by certified mail or private courier service within five (5) days after deposit of such notice, postage prepaid, addressed (until another address is filed in writing), as follows:

8.3 Applicable Law and Exclusive Forum. The validity, interpretation, and performance of these Warrant Terms and of the Warrants shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The Company and each Warrant holder hereby agree that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to these Warrant Terms shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. The Company and each Warrant holder hereby waive any objection to such jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3 shall not apply to any action, proceeding or claim brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the Warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in this Section 8.3. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions above, is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any Warrant holder, such Warrant holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such Warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such Warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.

8.4 Persons Having Rights under these Warrant Terms. Nothing in these Warrant Terms shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the Company and the Registered Holders of the Warrants any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of these Warrant Terms or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises, and agreements contained in these Warrant Terms shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns and of the Registered Holders of the Warrants.

8.5 Effect of Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience only and are not part of this Warrant Terms and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.

8.6 Amendments. These Warrant Terms may be amended by the Company without the consent of any Registered Holder (i) for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained herein or adding or changing any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under these Warrant Terms as the Company may deem necessary or desirable and that the Company deem shall not adversely affect the interest of the Registered Holders, and (ii) to provide for the delivery of Alternative Issuance pursuant to Section 3.4. All other modifications or amendments, including any modification or amendment to increase the Warrant Price or shorten the Exercise Period shall require the vote or written consent of the Registered Holders of 50% of the number of the then outstanding Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may lower the Warrant Price or extend the duration of the Exercise Period pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, without the consent of the Registered Holders.

8.7 Severability. These Warrant Terms shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the Warrants (including these Warrant Terms) or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the Company intends that there shall be added as a part of these Warrant Terms a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.
